Thanks to Tamsyn Muir you don't need another of those embarassing Nevernight books to please your inner teen goth. "Gideon the Ninth" is relentlessly morbid while being incontestably the most fun you'll ever have with a bunch of battling necromancers.

The characters are amazing and Gideon herself feels like a person you've never seen portrayed in any sff book before.

The novel also contains the best gay romance I have read in ages, so that's that.

@stjaerna @c0debabe The primary issue with this book is that the sequel STILL isn’t out and that makes me sad.

@stjaerna @c0debabe It’s also one of the few books with swords that makes sense from a sword fighting point of view.

@stjaerna @c0debabe So many days! I honestly can’t think of a single thing I didn’t like about this book.

Same. The other Hugo nominees feel bleak in conparison, even the very good ones.

I still can't believe this is basically Muir's debut.
